The Serum Amyloid A Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the semi-quantitative detection of Serum Amyloid A in whole blood, serum or plasma.
Serum Amyloid A (SAA) is an acute inflammatory response protein, which is encoded by multiple genes and belongs to the polymorphic protein family. It increases rapidly in the early stages of an inflammatory response or infection and decreases rapidly in the convalescent stages of inflammation. When infection occurs,SAA and C-reactive protein (CRP) and other inflammatory indicators are increased. In viral infection, SAA increases faster than other infection indicators, with higher specificity and sensitivity. According to the degree of SAA elevation and the combination of CRP, procalcitonin (PCT) and other indicators, it can provide important basis for the early diagnosis, disease risk and clinical prognosis evaluation of infectious diseases. The Serum Amyloid A Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a simple test that utilizes a combination coated particles and capture reagent to detect Serum Amyloid A in whole blood, serum or plasma
